Well today was fun. +$250 in 2 hours (including clearing a $100 stars Bonus). This is how poker is supposed to be. Folded reasonably big hands to sets and called reasonably weak hands to bluffs. Its great when it all clicks.
I managed to win a buyin and a half at the tables despite getting set over setted by and incredibly strangly played KK.
This guy had been pretty passive so far but ive only seen 20 hands or so, so I dont think im ever getting away here getting 2.5 : 1. KK is just stupidly unlikely here. 44 and 88 arent so likely. I put him on Kcxc or somthing similar so I went for it.

All in all im pretty happy with my call here and Im pretty happy with how today went in general. I still think Im a bit too much of a calling station against passive types but its something im working on.
